What do you think of this sort of thing?
Love me some Paco, but not as big of a fan of strings and Western classical philosophy being incorporated into flamenco. Flamenco nuevo seems like a response to that and either steers toward innovation or a more folky, (performatively) accessible approach. Paco does a lot of that too, just not on the track you posted (which is still good, just not the part of flamenco that sets my balls on fire).

Now let my introduce you to one of my favourite albums of all time.
